- a female given name
- 1991, Elisabet Aho, Varjoja kuvastimessa, Karisto, →ISBN, page 195:
- Kun Raisa lähetti ristiäiskuvan ja kertoi, että tyttö kastettiin Niinaksi, soitti Nestori heti ja moitti.
—Miksi et antanut sille kunnollista, suomalaista nimeä, vaikka Ainoa?
—Eihän minullakaan ole suomalaista nimeä, vastasi Raisa.
—Jaa, se taas oli äitisi valinta, mutisi Nestori.- When Raisa send a photo from the christening and told that the girl was christened Niina, Nestori called immediately to criticize it.
—Why didn't you give her a proper Finnish name like Aino?
—But I don't have a Finnish name either, Raisa replied.
—Well, that was your mother's choice, Nestori muttered.
